Default Lt1 power loss

Did some street fun 4 days ago and car is nowhere near as peppy. I put low octane fuel and ck engine light came on then went back to premium and within 2 miles it came off, however the car is still throaty and runs smoothly but it feels the power is cut in half to where it was nothing to get loose and dance at half throttle and now im 5/6 to the floor before tires break....Thoughts? Comments? Slander?Suggestions? anything is appreciated guys....
